Update

Barring anything crazy happening during the appraisal on Tuesday, we'll be moving on Saturday, and our house will have new owners a week from Friday. I was so sad, but now I am really excited about moving in to our new house. I simply can't wait.

We've been packing and moving and moving and packing. We've done a really great job: the garage and attic are empty, and most of the rooms have only essential furniture left in them.

The boys are getting excited too. They love the new house and knowing they are going to have a cool new playroom makes me even happier. They have been "helping" move. Today they each got to push the garage door button and make the door go up and down. Jack also rose down the driveway on a furniture dolly a few times with David.

Today they've really been doing their twin thing as well. In the car they were talking to each other and laughing in a jibberish I don't understand, and tonight at dinner they kissed and hugged each other over and over. Jack is always calling for "Nummy" to "come here" or "sit down." It is so cute.

Happy Easter to all! May the meaning of the holiday make us all thankful for what we have, and that He died for us. Tomorrow after church we're having lunch at my Papaw's and my mom's going to have an Easter egg hunt in his back yard. I'll be sure to post pictures!

The story of how the tader tots came to be

When I started this blog, I originally thought it was going to be a taderbaby...we chose the nickname after the delicious spuds served at Young's Jersey Dairy...but quickly found out it was tader tots! At 28 weeks gestation my placenta started abrupting and I was briefly hospitalized, then put on strict bedrest. At 31w 4d I was let up for an hour a day. At 32w on the dot, I was re-admitted for bleeding and began a four day fight to stop labor which I lost on 2.15.07 when Jack's placenta abrupted fully. If I hadn't been at the hospital, we wouldn't have made it. Upon birth, Jack's apgar was 3. The boys spent 4 weeks in NICU and this is their story, and mine.
